Hernando County Seeks Volunteers for Committee Vacancies, Apply by March 27

Seats on several Hernando County advisory committees are open, and the Board of County Commissioners is accepting applications from residents willing to fill them before a 5 p.m. deadline this Friday, March 27.

The Greater Hernando County Chamber of Commerce publicized the openings on March 16, amplifying a formal media release from the county that called on qualified residents to step into volunteer roles shaping local government. The specific committees with vacancies are detailed at hernandocounty.us/committees, where prospective applicants can also download application materials directly.

To be eligible, applicants must be both residents and registered voters in Hernando County. The positions carry no pay; they are voluntary, unpaid roles and in some cases may be designated as an alternate member position rather than a full voting seat.

Applications are available three ways: in person at the County Administrator's Office at 15470 Flight Path Drive in Brooksville, by phone at 352-754-4002, or through the county's committees webpage. Regardless of how the form is obtained, all completed applications must be emailed to Administration@co.hernando.fl.us and received no later than 5:00 p.m. on March 27. The county has not indicated that faxed or mailed submissions are accepted in place of email.

Anyone with questions about a particular board or committee, including details about meeting schedules, term lengths, or whether a specific opening is a full or alternate seat, can reach the County Administrator's Office at 352-754-4002. The county's main government line is (352) 754-4000.

With just days remaining before the window closes, residents interested in shaping county policy at the committee level have a narrow path to get their paperwork in on time.
